The Yorkshire Ambulance Service said last night that a number of ambulance resources, including two ambulances, an air ambulance, a specialist paramedic (critical care) and a doctor, were dispatched to the scene and one patient conveyed by road to Northern General Hospital.
The Commercial Street incident happened less than an hour after an 88-year-old pedestrian had been injured in a collision with a car on High Street, near the Cathedral team stop, which had also led to the road being cordoned off.
